"Fortunately, it was only a little bit. If it had been much more, I'm afraid he would have been paralyzed in bed," the doctor said.
The old lady asked incredulously, "What exactly is Song Yue trying to do? Is she crazy to light incense in the room?"
The Duke of Jingguo clutched his chest with one hand, his face ashen, and he regretted more than once that he should have crushed this wretched child back then.
"What exactly did you say to the princess yesterday that angered Song Yue?" The Grand Madam looked at the Duke of Jingguo with reproach for the first time: "Knowing that she and her daughter are unreasonable and have someone backing them up, why did you still provoke them?"
The Duke of Jingguo felt ashamed and said in a low voice, "I was just reminding Jia Hua of something."
He only vaguely mentioned Song Hengchuan's background yesterday, hoping to use this opportunity to threaten Princess Jiahua into behaving herself.
They completely overlooked Song Yue, this little devil.

Imperial Edict
The Fan family had no choice but to rush into the capital city, where the Prefect of the Capital led troops to guard the city gates and check each person one by one before letting them pass.
The Fan family had never seen anything like this before and were completely dumbfounded.
"Without the Emperor's permission, from this day forward, no one with the surname Shen is allowed to leave the city gate even a step without authorization; otherwise, it will be considered disobeying the imperial decree!" the Prefect of the Capital coldly ordered.

"This whole family has come to the capital, but they don't even have a place to stay..."
Before she could finish speaking, the Dowager Lady quickly said, "I have already found a house for you. There are too many people and too much gossip at the Duke of Jingguo's mansion. I'm worried that it might disturb your rest."
The Dowager Madam dared not allow the Fan family to live in the Duke's mansion; she simply could not bear the responsibility if anything happened to them.
Madam Fan glanced at the Grand Madam, pursed her lips, and was somewhat displeased. After the Grand Madam's repeated explanations, she reluctantly agreed not to stay at the Duke of Jing's residence.
"Where is Lianyi?" the old lady suddenly asked.
Madam Fan snorted coldly: "Back then, you ruined Lianyi's life. She never married and lived a solitary life in the manor. Such a good eldest daughter wasted. If it weren't for this imperial decree, she might not have been willing to leave the manor."
